Funky Video Game Music – Groovy Playlist

[ad_1]

As part of our season of celebrating video game music that we’re inventively calling the Nintendo Life VGM Fest, we’re making a few lists of ~moods~, because that’s pretty much how we organise our Spotify playlists these days.

Everyone knows that video game soundtracks are full of epic orchestrations, relaxing melodies, and terrifying boss battle music — but every now and again, video games will also offer up a track that’s just so darn funky that we can’t help but get down.

The songs that we’ve chosen from this list are from a wide range of games and genres. It’s not only literal funk that’s funky, despite everything that funkologists might say — this list represents surf rock, jazz, dubstep, and whatever Splatoon is. Electronink?

Dolphin Shoals (Mario Kart 8, 2014)

Pigstep (Minecraft Nether Update, 2020)

Gerudo Valley (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 1998)

Steam Gardens (Super Mario Odyssey, 2017)

A-Mazing Post Pounding (Yoshi’s Woolly World, 2015)

Spicy Calamari Inkantation (Splatoon 2, 2017)

K.K. Groove (Animal Crossing: New Leaf / New Horizons, 2012/20)

Funky’s Staff Credits (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, 2018)

Theme 7 (Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 GBA, 2001)

Toxic Caves (Sonic Spinball, 1993)

Go Straight (Streets of Rage II, 1992)

Those are just some of our personal favourites, but what about yours? Let us know your favourite funky video game tracks to boogie on down to in the comments below, and if your picks vibe with us you may well see them migrate north from the comments at some point.
